Join Us On Our Vietnam & Cambodia Trade Famil
Travel agent registrations are now open for our upcoming Vietnam and Cambodia familiarisation tour, showcasing two of South East Asia’s most compelling destinations.
Designed to build practical product knowledge of Cambodia and Vietnam as high value touring destinations, Unbound Travel Group invites Australian travel agents and trade professionals to join us on a curated 9-day familiarisation tour. This hosted journey focuses on realistic routing, strong hotel partnerships and locally led experiences that reflect how these countries are sold to clients via our Asia private touring brand, Asia Unbound.
Departing Saturday 9 May 2026 and concluding Sunday 17 May 2026, the famil travels through Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City, combining Cambodia’s great Khmer heritage with Vietnam’s rich food culture, urban energy and historic depth. Hosted by Lorinda Childs and Trang Dang, the journey has been designed to give agents a clear, on the ground understanding of the product and pace of travel.

Why Now Is The Time To Enhance Asia Product Knowledge
Global travel patterns are shifting. Ongoing disruption across parts of the Middle East and Europe has reminded travellers and advisors alike of the value of destinations that are closer to home, easier to reach and operationally reliable. For Australian travellers, Asia offers strong air connectivity, shorter flight times and remarkable cultural diversity within relatively compact travel distances.
Despite this proximity, mainland South East Asia is often unfairly compared to leisure destinations such as Bali or Thailand. Vietnam, Cambodia and neighbouring Laos offer a very different style of travel. Historic cities, layered cultural heritage, exceptional food traditions and a growing collection of boutique and luxury hotels create ideal conditions for bespoke private touring rather than resort based holidays.
“Many Australian travellers still default to Europe when thinking about a high value cultural holiday,” said Lincoln Harris, founder of Unbound Travel Group. “But destinations like Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos offer an incredible level of cultural richness and variety within a relatively short travel radius. For private touring, they’re some of the most rewarding countries anywhere in Asia.”
For travel advisors, building stronger product knowledge across this region unlocks significant opportunity. Cambodia’s Khmer heritage, Vietnam’s vibrant cities and culinary traditions, and the quieter cultural landscapes of Laos together form one of Asia’s most compelling regions for travellers seeking journeys that feel distinctive, personal and well beyond the standard group tour route.
Key Information For Agents To Note
This famil has been designed to reflect how Asia Unbound private journeys operate on the ground. The focus is on destination understanding, accommodation positioning and meaningful local experiences rather than a schedule dominated by hotel inspections. Agents will travel through Cambodia and Vietnam using realistic routing that mirrors how private itineraries are typically structured for clients.
Single room accommodation has been arranged throughout the journey, with no room sharing required. This allows agents to properly experience each property independently, evaluate room categories and service standards, and gain a clear understanding of how the product is positioned for premium travellers.

Penh House Hotel and Jungle Addition Hotel - boutique city retreat in Phnom Penh near the Royal Palace
